This article \u2013 and the forthcoming Part II \u2013 were based on a podcast that I recorded with Coupa\u2019s Ravi Thakur. For a procurement strategy-packed 30 minutes of education, I highly encourage you to download it from our podcast page and give it a listen!<\/p>\n

Part I of this series has five sets of procurement strategy do\u2019s & don\u2019ts and Part II will have three more sets. But that isn\u2019t all that came out of the podcast. There is one more set of do\u2019s and don\u2019ts that I will post here as a bonus for you, my loyal blog reader!<\/p>\n

Ready? Here goes\u2026<\/p>\n

DON\u2019T underestimate the value of having a good procurement system. DO implement tools that maximize your ability to capture spend.<\/b> \u201cA good procurement platform is typically the second most-used piece of software within a company, besides email,\u201d notes Thakur. \u201cA good procurement tool is going is going to get you 80 to 100 percent of all your spend under management\u2026Everyone within the company is going to be leveraging and using that technology. There [are] very few solutions out there of any type of software that [are] are really used by most people within an organization\u2026That should be your goal as a procurement executive because, if you don\u2019t have that, then your procurement strategy \u2013 odds are \u2013 that it\u2019s going to fail.\u201d<\/div>\n
